Why Income Tax Compliance Matters
Income tax is one of the most important statutory obligations for any business. Incorrect deductions, late payments, or regulatory oversights can lead to financial penalties, legal exposure, and damaged employee trust. Each country has its own unique tax regime—some progressive, others flat-rate—and understanding the nuances is crucial.
